– Boxing legend Evander Holyfield was backstage for tonight’s WWE SmackDown in Louisville, KY. The Real Deal talks to Dasha Fuentes about being a fan and more in this backstage video.
– The dark match before tonight’s SmackDown at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville saw The New Day defeat The Bar when Kofi Kingston pinned Cesaro. The Bar has yet to make their in-ring TV debuts since coming to SmackDown in the Superstar Shakeup but they did appear in a backstage segment with The New Day on this week’s show. They claimed this would be their last blue brand appearance as they are looking to win the vacant RAW Tag Team Titles by defeating Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt at Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.
– As noted, Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass is now official for the May 6th WWE Backlash pay-per-view after Cass attacked Bryan on tonight’s show and left him laying backstage, then took Bryan’s spot as a guest on MizTV with The Miz. There was some speculation on tonight’s show featuring a big angle to reignite the feud between Miz and Bryan but it looks like they will do a slower build to that match while Bryan feuds with Cass. Miz took to Twitter after SmackDown and taunted Bryan with the following message:
I am SHOCKED, absolutely APPALLED something like this would happen on #SDLive (especially on the night of my return) … I’m pulling for you, Daniel. #GetWellSoon pic.twitter.com/fg47fqZRqf— The Miz (@mikethemiz) April 25, 2018
